Martinic ‘Kee Bass’: A Free Virtual Instrument that emulates The Rheem Kee Bass monophonic string bass keyboard from the ‘60s
'Kee Bass' is a free virtual instrument VST/AU plugin that faithfully emulates one of the first monophonic string bass simulators, the Rheem Kee Bass. It was initially released in October 2019 by Martinic, a Dutch company developing software instruments and effects. This plugin brings some groovy, bassy vibes back from the 1960s as well as modern features such as an extended key-range, a filter, and modulation.
Kee Bass emulates the solid-state electronic circuitry of the Rheem Kee Bass. There are no samples used in the sound. Instead, the plugin uses physical modeling to reproduce the sonic characteristics of the original unit. This makes for a thick, analog bass sound that is fun and rewarding to play.
The Bass Booster level controls the level of the low end. Pushing it forward will fully round out the sound and give it extra bass strength. The Tone switch allows you to choose between Mellow and Bright settings. Mellow is a low, rounded tone, while Bright adds bite and clarity to the sound. Turning on the Fuzz switch will add distortion to the Kee Bass, attenuating the low-end and emphasizing the mid-range frequencies. The Mode switch controls the sustain of the notes that you play on the Kee Bass. On the Sustain setting, pressing a key will play a note until you lift your finger, while on the Percuss setting, the notes will fade away shortly after pressing a key. The Decay switch controls how quickly the note will fade away when set to Percuss mode.
